Rules: If you list more than 4 things I'm gonna just tally the first 4 you say. If you list the same character multiple times it won't count. Be nice. Don't shove your personal definition of "Mount Rushmore" down others' throats. Have fun. If you're going to majorly change a vote please quote your old vote to make it easier for me.

-----------------

Adventure-specific-rules: I'm not going to limit this to point-and-clicks like Myst and Day of the Tentacle. The Telltale games and their many knockoffs are also adventure games. Same with David Cage's bullshit. I'm going to be pretty lenient on what counts here but basically:

If there's a persistent cursor, puzzles, and inventory management, then it counts for this one. There should NOT be a combat focus at all. Combat should be a tertiary thing in these games, if it appears at all. If there is combat, it's more of a puzzle or a QTE. There should not be major shifts from the core gameplay of clicking on shit.

Older text-based stuff like Zork that predates mouse cursors are fine as well.
